The tax
You took the work because it was there.
It filled the gap. It paid.
Now the hours don't suit and somehow it became a grievance.
But you said yes.

The inconvenient parts came with the convenient ones.
You can push back. You can walk away.
But taking the money and resenting the job is just wanting it both ways.
That's the tax on saying yes.
